Saviynt is looking for a Staff Platform Engineer to ensure our complex, distributed, cloud-native SaaS platform remains highly available, scalable, and secure. In this hands-on engineering and technical leadership role, you will own reliability for major platform domains, design scalable solutions on Kubernetes and AWS, and drive automation and reliability improvements across multiple teams.

What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain shared infrastructure services and platforms for product and application teams.
Create reusable, reliable, and scalable solutions that abstract away complexity in a multi-cloud environment.
Design and build core platform components and shared infrastructure services for other development teams.
Architect, implement, and manage highly available and scalable Kubernetes platforms as a service for internal consumers.
Develop robust, internal-facing tools and automation for infrastructure provisioning and management primarily using Go (Golang).
Architect and optimize foundational solutions within Cloud environments (AWS, Azure, etc.), creating reusable patterns and modules.
Design and implement shared Event-Driven Architecture components and messaging platforms using technologies like Kafka or Google Pub/Sub.
Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI and ArgoCD) as a service.
Design and build resilient Distributed Systems components focusing on reliability, fault tolerance, and performance.
Manage and optimize shared infrastructure across Multi-Region Cloud Environments.
Establish and enhance centralized Observability and Monitoring platforms and tools.
Define and implement clear, well-documented RESTful API designs for infrastructure services.
Implement and manage Service Mesh (e.g., Envoy, Istio) capabilities as a shared platform.
Design, implement, and optimize highly available Relational Database services or shared data platforms.
Collaborate closely with product development teams to understand their infrastructure needs and provide technical guidance.
Participate in on-call rotations to support critical shared infrastructure.

What We're Looking For

6+ years of experience in Infrastructure Development, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering, with a focus on building tools/services for other engineers.
Deep expertise with Kubernetes in production environments, particularly in providing it as a platform (single tenant and multi-tenant deployment architectures).
Strong programming skills in Go (Golang) and Python, with experience building robust backend services and automation.
Extensive hands-on experience with at least one major Cloud Provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Proven experience designing and implementing Event-Driven Architecture and message queuing systems (e.g., Kafka, RMQ, NATS) as shared services.
Solid understanding and practical experience with CI/CD pipeline tools (especially GitLab CI) and establishing automated delivery processes.
Demonstrable experience designing and operating Distributed Systems, with an understanding of patterns for creating reliable, shared components.
Familiarity with Multi-Region Cloud Environments and strategies for building globally distributed and highly available platforms.
Proficiency in establishing and utilizing comprehensive Observability and Monitoring platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, Datadog).
Strong experience with RESTful API design principles and building well-documented, consumable APIs.
Knowledge of Service Mesh concepts and practical experience with solutions like Istio in a platform context.
Hands-on experience with Relational Databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL), ideally in managing them as a service.
Excellent communication skills and ability to articulate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
A strong customer-centric mindset, treating internal development teams as primary customers.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical or military experience.
